Gifts of appreciated stocks and bonds allow you to take the full deduction for the appreciated
value without paying any capital gains tax. Even if you wish to keep the stock in your portfolio,
giving Insulin Pumpers the stock and purchasing the same stock through your broker will give
you the same income tax deduction but you will then have the stock at the new higher basis.

If you have stock losses, sell the stock yourself to realize the tax loss and take the deduction.
Use the cash to make a charitable contribution to Insulin Pumpers and take a charitable
deduction for your gift.
